The annual Naked Alpaca Day is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 5 at various Tri-City area alpaca farms.
The open houses are an ideal way to get up close to the adorable alpacas who've all been sheared of their woolly coats.
For addresses to the open farms in Kennewick, West Richland, Benton City and Prosser, go to www.tricitiesalpacas.com. Admission is free.

Myth: Farm animals are not allowed in the city.
Fact: The city's zoning rules for farm animals are identical to Franklin County, so farm animals are, in fact, allowed in the city under the same conditions as allowed by Franklin County (the city does cap the number of fowl and rabbits at 40).
